This guy focuses dreams and visions. His overriding premise is that God pours out his Spirit on young men, old men, they dream dreams, they get visions, so you need to get a little here and a little there, but they must all line up as well since it is the same Spirit. I want to point out that the Lord has made it very clear to me, just like him, that He is using many members of the body. I have had several dreams which I think are significant, but personally I don't want dreams and visions and I have no interest in interpreting them. I am so happy that many other saints are having dreams and visions, I'm happy they are sharing them, and I am very happy that this brother likes to interpret them. The word I got from the Lord is that I would need help from many saints with what I am doing, especially from some that I might be inclined not to listen to. So I thank the Lord for Roche, I also had the sense that these dreams were from the Lord and I thank the Lord for this brother, not just for interpreting her dream but for his putting the dots together with so many other dreams.

However, he reinterprets her dream saying that she found the wrong pig in the constellations. The difference is ten days. He is looking much closer at the blood moon. He is also dialing in 9 other dreams as well.

November 11th is the first day of frost for her zone in Germany and it is said to be a day of war.
Is this the 7 day warning?

This is an amazing explanation of her dreams. This points to 12:15pm UTC time which would be 7:15am Central time (UTC does not correct for daylight savings time) on November 8th. In other words, this is the 7 day warning I was looking for.

Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

So then, who is Babylon? How many "great cities" on the earth. Let's consider our top 10.

Vatican -- have they made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication? Perhaps.

London, Washington DC? Yes, perhaps, but that is it.

The UK used to have the empire that the sun never set on, now the US does, and yes, the Catholic church exercises influence worldwide. We're not just talking about wine which could refer to culture (Britain) or Hollywood (US) or corporate America (McDonald's, Coca Cola). But it is the wine of the wrath of her fornication. That is weird so let's break that down.

A few years ago the Cigarette companies were exposed as pedaling a drug (nicotine) which made you addicted. This meant they should be subject to laws regulating drugs. They knew this and lied about this which is why they were fined, and the harm from cigarettes was very great which is why the fine was also very great. What you may not know is that at exactly the same time the US was fining cigarette companies in the US and putting on new restrictions on them in the US they also cut a deal with Taiwan to sell AWACS to them.

Taiwan is a small island nation of about 20 million threatened by China, a country of 1.2 billion. So Taiwan needed these AWACS for national security. The US sold them to Taiwan but had one requirement, they needed to let US cigarette companies sell cigarettes in Taiwan as well. This is what it means they made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

It may be that the Vatican and London laid out the template for this, but today there is only one nation that makes all the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication and that is the US.

Consider also our status as a reserve currency. This forces all nations to buy our bonds, which means every nation funds the US military, funds the US CIA, funds all kinds of things that are the "wrath of her fornication".

Conclusion -- Have we learned anything from the word of God concerning when the rapture will be?

1. No one knows the day or the hour -- so far this verse is batting 1,000. However, Jesus does not say no one knows the year or the season or the generation. So what I would say we have learned from this is that Jesus is telling us that we can put most of the puzzle together from the word of God, but not all, there will be a few pieces missing that you will not find in the Bible, you will not find them in Enoch, you won't find those pieces in any manuscript written at that time.

2. Watch -- this makes sense. There are many signs that we should watch for and will be able to see. Israel is reformed as a nation marking the generation that will see the fulfillment of all these things. A generation is 80 years in the event of rebellion, so it will be 80 years from May of 1948 for all these things to be fulfilled. However, "all these things" was referring to Jesus returning in great glory in the clouds, and every eye seeing Him. It was not referring to the end of Armageddon battle, or the end of the 70th week or the end of the tribulation. If you feel it will be six months from the Lord returning in great glory in the clouds to the end of the tribulation, then this would mean the tribulation must begin in the Fall of 2022. That would be my understanding.

3. Signs -- we have had several very large signs of the end of the age. In 2017 at Feast of Trumpets we saw the Revelation 12 sign with the woman clothed with the Sun, the moon under her feet and with a crown of 12 stars in travail to give birth. Like the days of Noah when Noah's father died 5 years before the flood, this warning seems to be our five year warning. The Pandemic coming 19 years after 9/11 is another major sign given us in Joel. We are told that there will be this army of "insects" even though that is clearly an analogy, that marches through the whole earth eating up the entire economy. That at this time God declares a worldwide Sabbath, a fast. This is a worldwide shutdown that can be compared to the Jordan River standing and allowing the children of Israel to cross. Because of the shutdown people were given more time to be in the word, to be focusing on these signs and as a result this entire Watchman community blossomed and sprung forth. I would say that was our three year warning with the earliest signs of the Pandemic being in the Fall of 2019. Then on the Feast of Trumpets, 2022, five red heifers were delivered to Israel (they came out of quarantine on September 25th, the start of the Feast of Trumpets). This should be seen as a major trumpet blast announcing the coming of the king. At the same time rabbis in Israel and the US announced they were meeting with the Messiah. This is another prophecy that during the tribulation the false prophet rises out of Israel.

4. Bible verses -- The Bible teaches consistently and in many places that the rapture at the end of the age is a harvest of the believers. The believers are likened to wheat being gathered together and brought to the barn or the Lord's house. Ruth is a type of the marriage of the Gentile bride to the Lord during the harvest season. Song of Songs describes this harvest season being the time of the rapture. Paul says that the feasts of the Lord are a shadow of things to come. The Fall feasts are a shadow of the coming of the King at the harvest season. Then in Jeremiah it says that "the summer is over and we are not saved". We understand Jeremiah to be a prophecy to those who are left behind after the rapture and this verse seems to indicate this happens when the summer is over. Israel has two seasons, summer and winter. Technically the summer is over halfway between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. That would be approximately six and a half weeks after the equinox which is September 22. That would be around November 8th which is a full moon. In proverbs we are told that the good man of the house returns on the appointed day, and that phrase appointed day refers to a full moon. Then

Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

At the rapture all the graves of the dead in Christ are opened and when the Manchild is caught up to heaven the fallen angels are cast down to earth. If you look at the sun through sackcloth of hair you can see some light, he is describing a partial eclipse followed two weeks later by a blood moon. Now it just so happens that on October 25th we had a very special annular eclipse of the sun, one that has not happened for hundreds if not thousands of years and will not happen again for hundreds if not thousands of years. An annular eclipse is a partial eclipse that leaves a ring of fire and in this particular case there was a conjunction with Venus that made this ring look like an engagement ring with Venus being the stone on that ring. November 8th we will have a blood moon. So this is rare to have this extremely rare annular eclipse followed by a blood moon. However, this is the fourth in a set of four blood moons that have taken place on Passover and Sukkot in order. Whenever this happens it has always been very significant in Israel's history. To make this even more significant this is the second set of four of these blood moons on Israel feast days in the last seven years, so this is the 8th blood moon. In the bible 8 signifies a new beginning. One of the most difficult verses in the New Testament is in Luke which says that Jesus went up on the mount of transfiguration about the 8th day because Matthew says it is after the sixth day. We have calculated that it has been 6,000 years since Adam in 2017. So right now it is "after six days". If the transfiguration of the rapture takes place on the 8th blood moon it would also be "about the eighth day".

5. Dreams and Visions -- there have been many, many dreams and visions suggesting that the rapture takes place during a lunar eclipse or a blood moon. We were told in Joel that the pouring out of dreams and visions would also be a sign of the end of the age. This could explain

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

The Lord said that no one knew the hour He was coming, but that was 2,000 years ago. He never said He wouldn't give us a heads up, in fact He said He would speak to us through dreams and visions. We are also told

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

So this solves the puzzle. We are commanded to watch. We are told we can see the signs of His coming even to know the year and the season. However we will not know the day until He gives us a heads up through dreams and visions, revealing that secret to His servants the prophets.

This also explains this verse

2Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

This is how you know who loves His appearing.

Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

This word wonder means token of a future event, it indicates a conspicuous token. It can also refer to a beautiful deed.

The wedding ring was certainly a beautiful deed. The blood moon tetrads are very conspicuous.

Blood refers to bloodguiltiness. Right now the news is showing the bloodguiltiness of those who pushed for a total shutdown during the pandemic, closing schools, mask mandates, and then forcing the vaccine on people.

Fire can indicate God's anger and also the fire for roasting food. Again, we can see the sinfulness being filled to the brim and God's anger as a result. The liars, thieves, crooks and murderers are all being exposed and slow roasted.

Pillars, this word is only used twice in the Bible. The other use is in Song of Songs where it asks "who is this that comes out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke". This refers to the daughters "coming out" which means to come out of their state of nature. This is a reference to the rapture.

So then we have the following progression:

1. Signs and tokens in the heavens, blood moon tetrads, Revelation 12 signs, etc.

2. Bloodguiltiness -- Fauci and the pandemic, this vaccine, Epstein island, Ukraine, etc.

3. Fire -- God's anger over drag queen story hour, liars, hypocrites, bloodguiltiness, stolen elections, etc.

4. Rapture.

I suspect we will see all 4 on November 8th.

Did Thomas Edison have to apologize?

He once said he wasn't wrong 99 times, he simply found 99 things that didn't work when he was trying to make a light bulb. I have always felt that these people who jump on others who are trying to decipher these dreams, visions, and prophecies, calling them "false prophets" are such hypocrites. No one blamed Thomas Edison. In Science you are supposed to try and disprove hypothesis, that doesn't mean the guy who put forth the hypothesis was "a false prophet". It always made sense to me that the watchmen were putting forth hypothesis that we would examine and ultimately would be disproved by the fact that the rapture didn't occur then.

What is far more important to me is the fact that the observations haven't changed, the significant prophecies, significant signs, the dreams that we feel are from the Lord. These are still the same, the only thing that is changing is our interpretation. This is how you test every doctrine. No one came up with "Justification by faith" fully formed, we tested it, we examined it, we asked what about this verse and what about that. Even today there is a dispute over whether or not you can lose your salvation. Actually the dispute is not really over that, but rather were the ones that the Lord says "depart from me workers of lawlessness" ever really saved in the first place.

Luke 9:5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

I was "not welcomed" by Facebook. I was told someone was offended by some post of mine. They don't tell you what the offense is, they don't tell you anything that would help you be less offensive, just that they will suspend you for 30 days. Well the word of the Lord is clear, "leave that town". "Shake off the dust off your feet as a testimony against them". Think about this, the powers of heaven will be shaken, that is the sign we get immediately before the rapture. So that is what I did, I deleted my Facebook account that morning. It isn't easy, you have to do a search to learn how to do it and they cling to you, for thirty days they try to get you to change your mind.

When I learned that Amazon, Apple, and Google all deplatformed Parler I left those "towns". I have not bought a thing from Amazon since that time, I use DuckDuckGo rather than google and I use Dissenter rather than Chrome or Safari, and I haven't bought another thing from Apple since that time.

When I learned that Costco had kicked Mike Lindell's products out of their store because he was investigating election fraud I stopped going to their store from that moment. I used to spend upwards of $500 a month with Amazon and over $1,000 a month with Costco. By myself this won't shake them at all. But if 1 million people do that a loss of $1 billion a month to Costco or $500 million a month to Amazon, that will be noticeable. If 10 million people do this and 10 million people delete their account with Facebook, and Costco loses $10 billion a month in revenue and Amazon loses $5 billion a month! They will notice, it will shake the powers of heaven.

But let's be real, there are 100 million Christians in this country, how is this not important to everyone of them? If everyone stood up to these tyrants this would be over today. The only reason this is dragging on and on for months is because too many "don't want to make waves" and think that those of us who are preaching righteousness are the problem.

When DeBlasio said all teachers would have to be vaccinated by September 27th I began the process to retire within 24 hours. It is a lot easier to leave Facebook than it is to leave a job with the city.

I now learn that NY has a law that they might vote on January 5th where they can arrest, quarantine and forcibly vaccinate anyone not vaccinated. So once again, if you are not welcome in a city shake off the dust and move on. We contacted a real estate broker and sold the house and moved out of NY. We moved to South Dakota. My wife has a new job, our living situation is much nicer than it was in NY, our commute is much easier, our relative income compared to cost of living is better. We sold our house at the top of the market, we could not afford to sell today. We also sold the 401k at the top of the market and couldn't afford to sell that now either.

I am here in the city first and foremost as an ambassador of the kingdom of the heavens. I am not chained to my job or my house or the city.

Exodus 4:21 And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

We should not be surprised if the leaders refuse to compromise, confess or repent. These ones who pushed for shutdowns, mandates, digital currencies, quarantines, etc. Their hearts will be hardened. They will be unable to repent so that God can show His might hand.

Rapture at the time of the blood moon
